We have installed Windows Media Services Version 9.01.01.3841

This server has Internet Explorer 7 installed.

Whenever we attempt to access the Windows Media Service (web) shortcut, or
inside of IIS if we attempt to browse to the web site.

We get the following error message:

Browser not supported

The Windows Media Services Web Administrator requires Netscape version 5 orlater.

You are currently connected using:
Browser: Netscape
Version: 4

I saw a blurb stating that we had to make the URL for the Web Administrator
either a trusted site or a local intranet site.

I have tried both and still get the error message.

I can dig into the javascript and fix this problem myself, but I
thought I would check and see if there is a more approved method
of correcting this error.

Thanks

There is a pretty simple fix for this. Open "C:\WINDOWS
\system32\Windows Media\Server\Admin\web\wmssecure\include
\wmsConstants.inc" and modify the following line

Const MIN_NSCP_VERSION = 5

to

Const MIN_NSCP_VERSION = 4

Save the file and access the Windows Media Services Web Administration
page using Internet Explorer 7

-Enjoy
